She was preparing to make a left turn and, as she started to pull into the intersection, she stopped suddenly to avoid a vehicle passing through. Jennifer R. McGregor, 34, Plainville, was stopped behind Wichman in a 2007 Kia Sportage and accelerated as well, but she couldn’t stop in time to avoid a rear-end collision when the Pontiac braked.
